Brief Answer:
No dietary restrictions, please allow your son to eat everything.

Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXX,

Thanks for the question,

Since your son is now recovering from the illness, you should encourage him to eat a little more than normal and should not restrict any foods.

Let him eat whatever he wants, if you are non-veg, then he can eat that as well.

There are no dietary restrictions for any infections like typhoid.

Hope this answers your question.

Kind regards
